Live
Debris is an ongoing work of
documentation, research, collaboration and art committed to understanding the
confluence of material culture and social exclusion. The dual reflexes of disposal
and rejection reflect humanity’s enduring tendency to disavow that which
is normatively deemed less valuable. Distance from the people and things that
society discards enables us to participate in these dynamics, often without
intention or awareness. Live Debris attempts to deconstruct the barriers between
people and their waste as a strategy for exposing deeper social barriers that
hinder economic, social and environmental justice.
